Case Study: The Charitable Society of the Franciscan Sisters of Olpe (GFO) achieves secure, high-availability, cost-effective medical data storage with Synology Inc.'s DS1511+

GFO - Customer Case Study

GFO (The Charitable Society of the Franciscan Sisters of Olpe Ltd), a nonprofit healthcare and social-services organization with over 7,000 employees and more than 40 establishments, faced rapidly growing medical image and document storage demands that outstripped its centralized backup and limited WAN capacity. To address this challenge, GFO deployed Synology Inc.’s DS1511+ NAS appliances across its branch hospitals.

Synology Inc. implemented DS1511+ units with RAID 6, link aggregation, hot‑swappable drives, failover support and built‑in backup/FTP features, delivering high-availability, scalable storage (up to 45 TB per system), quicker recovery options and lower power consumption. The solution provided GFO with a cost‑effective, "green" NAS that protects sensitive medical data, reduces administration effort, and delivers tangible capacity and energy savings.
